摘要

摘要研究目的:本研究的目的是确定卡拉巴尔南部,克罗斯河州的年轻女性如何了解肥胖的原因和预防措施。材料与方法:本研究采用描述性调查设计,采用简单随机抽样技术,选取400名年龄在14 - 26岁之间的参与者。采用自制并经批准的问卷作为数据收集工具。使用描述性统计,使用频率和百分比来分析数据,使用卡方分析来检验假设。结果:调查结果显示,65.9%的受访者对导致肥胖的因素有较高的了解,而仅有34.1%的受访者对导致肥胖的因素了解不足。研究还发现,睡眠时间短、过度使用科技产品、父母和社会因素阻碍了预防肥胖的做法。卡方分析显示,计算值28.005a大于临界值7.81 (p值= 0.000),因此拒绝原假设。这表明,对肥胖原因的认识水平与年轻女性的教育水平之间存在显著的相关性。结论:护士和助产士应在健康咨询和产前门诊预约时对年轻妇女进行肥胖教育,提高她们的肥胖意识,加强预防措施

Awareness and preventive practices of obesity among young women in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State
Abstract Study aim: The purpose of this study was to ascertain how young women in Calabar South, Cross River State, were aware of the reasons and preventative measures for obesity. Material and methods: The study adopted the descriptive survey design using simple random sampling technique to select 400 participants (14–26years of age). Self-made and approved questionnaire was employed as a tool for data collection. With the use of descriptive statistics, the data was analyzed using frequency and percentages while chi square analysis was used to test hypothesis. Results: According to the results, a majority of respondents 65.9% had high understanding of the factors that contribute to obesity, compared to just 34.1% who had poor awareness. It was also revealed that short sleep duration, excessive use of technology, parenting and social hindered the preventive practice of obesity. Chi-square analysis showed that the calculated value 28.005a was greater than the critical value 7.81 (p-value = 0.000), thus the null hypothesis was rejected. This shows that there is a significant correlation between level of awareness of the causes of obesity and the educational level of young women. Conclusion: Nurses and midwives should educate young women about obesity during health consultations and prenatal clinic appointments in other to elevate their awareness to enhance their preventive practices
